We compute the density and velocity power spectra at next-to-next-to-leading order taking into account the effect of time- and scale-dependent growth of massive neutrino perturbations as well as the departure from Einstein--de-Sitter (EdS)…
We investigate the properties of large--scale structure predicted in a class of mixed dark matter models in which the volatile component (made of particles with high rms velocity) derives from the decay of a heavier particle. Such models…
Warm dark matter (WDM) is an intriguing model of structure formation from the point of view of both cosmology and particle physics. We consider a one-parameter family of WDM models. The linear power spectra for these models is calculated…

We carry out an independent re-analysis of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) public dataset, focusing on extensions to the standard cosmological model, $\Lambda$CDM. Utilizing the dataset and Effective Field Theory (EFT)-based…
We use the current weak lensing data to constrain the equation of state of dark energy $w$ and the total mass of massive neutrinos $\sum m_{\nu}$. The constraint on $w$ would be weak if only the current weak lensing data are used. With the…
We provide exact analytic expressions for the density, pressure, average number density and pseudo-pressure for massive neutrinos and generic dark matter particles, both fermions and bosons. We then focus on massive neutrinos and we compare…

We constrain flat cosmological models with a joint likelihood analysis of a new compilation of data from the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). Fitting the CMB alone yields a known degeneracy…
Accurate measurements of fundamental cosmological parameters, especially the Hubble constant (H_0) and present-day matter density (\Omega_{m0}), are crucial for constraining dark energy (DE) evolution. We analyze the sensitivities of…

We propose a new method to constrain elastic scattering between dark matter (DM) and standard model particles in the early Universe. Direct or indirect thermal coupling of non-relativistic DM with photons leads to a heat sink for the…
